Taurus

Mental Slowdown

Mental Mercury enters the sign of Taurus today, it stays there through May 11th.

This energy tends to slow our minds way down, especially with it also being Taurus Season (the Sun in Taurus.) So things aren’t going to be moving as quickly as they have been, and we can feel somewhat stuck. Especially with the ongoing virus situation.

We tend to be more down to earth, stable, and grounded with Mercury in Taurus, and our common sense is stronger, but our fantasies may be put on hold for the time being. We can come off more deliberate, and sometimes harsh under this influence, but it can be easier to communicate our emotions.

We will stick to what’s worked for us in the past, and who’s been tried and true, as our tribe means everything during this time. And we can be stubborn about using new solutions to solve problems, so trying new things isn’t so easy. Our focus is stronger as we can pay attention to one thing at a time, which can help make life more simple in these complicated times.

Be mindful of being overly strict or conservative. Don’t get too stubborn with your thoughts and opinions, and allow others to share how they are feeling during this cycle.

The May New Moon is in the sign of Taurus and this is a time for new beginnings as this cycle marks a major turning point for many of you. This New Moon phase is an actual harmonious connection between the Sun and Moon, and both of them just happen to be in the sign of Taurus this go around, so it’s very strong and potent energy to manifest under. This is a time of learning what it is we truly value, and what genuinely makes us feel more happy and content with life.

This New Moon means business this time around, as the planets around it are very supportive for creating and manifesting, as they are lining up with Moon in it’s New or Dark cycle (this is a good kind of dark), and are totally supportive in helping us bring in whatever we focus on. But you must plan on starting now, you must focus on what you want to happen next in your life, and make a commitment to yourself that you will follow through with any commitments that you make. This is the time to dream about what it is you want but also to make out some sort of Wish Lists, so you can manifest what it is you want in your life. Manifest from your heart and soul! We should be focusing on what it is we can do to increase our own feelings of self-worth, and how to make our lives more simple. This is also a great time to reconnect with the outside world. Under this lunation, we can feel a sense of purpose and like we are on a mission, as we are ready to take on projects that bring personal pleasure back into our lives.

This is such a strong and amazingly potent energy for planting some sort of intentions, which means you should take the time to write down or meditate on what it is you truly want in your life. Ask the Universe to help you move forward now. You can shout it from the rooftops, it doesn’t’ matter how you go about it, just put that energy out there on the airwaves! Making some sort of promise or commitment to what you truly desire is going to manifest in one way or another under this ripe energy!

By the time we get to the weekend when the New Moon comes together many of you will have already made up your mind about what it is you truly want to do next, so you will be ready to make your move. Don’t make the mistake of missing this major cosmic event and accidentally allowing your thoughts and ego to randomly focus on whatever it wants, and then you end up manifesting from a more unconscious space. Be aware, be awake, and make your Intentions clear and known! We must be mindful about our thoughts at this time because whatever we are thinking or feeling is what will be. Be in a space where you operate from your heart to promote healing in your life. We are at a point now where we believe so strongly that we can have what we want without any doubt or second-guessing ourselves. We are in a wonderful place to manifest what it is we truly desire because the way the planets are lining up during this particular New Moon is extremely ripe for New Beginnings and can bring in whatever it is we want or focus on.

During this New Moon cycle, we should be making goals and commitments around the traits of the sign of Taurus and its lessons for all of us. Taurus energy is about being comfortable and secure on this earthly plane of existence, and learning how to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. It’s a time to savor and enjoy any activity that involves a connection to nature and our bodies. Taurus energy teaches all of us how to enjoy what sustains life, so things like food and anything grown from the earth or organic, as we seem to have a much deeper spiritual connection to ourselves and the planet. This means we can work on healing our bodies and ourselves. We enjoy what stimulates the senses immensely, so things like art, music, sexual activity, and again food!

Again, this is a manifesting New Moon under the sign of Taurus, so we should make sure to take some time to Set Intentions with the Cosmos and write out our wish lists about what kind of energy and events we would like to see unfold next in our lives! What paths do you want to head down next? What would bring you the most pleasure?

It’s advised to take some time to stop and enjoy life and rely on good old fashioned common sense. But stay aware of what makes you feel more comfortable and secure. It’s a time to reassess your relationships to money and material possessions and discover what truly makes you feel happy in life. Then take some time to write it all down, ask this New Moon for what it is you want next in life. Set Intentions! What path would you like to go down next, what will take you towards your happiness! And make sure to close your eyes and feel whatever you wrote and visualize it!

In the Taurus New Moon cycle, we have the opportunity to make some seriously important changes to our lives. So make plans and goals that are solid but also realistic. Then hopefully later you’ll see new beginnings and rewards, no matter how big or small they may be. In two weeks time, from now during the next Full Moon at the end of May, is when you should start seeing major changes take place.

Happy Birthday to all my Bulls! But now understand when the Sun is in any Zodiac Sign, it actually affects all of us no matter what are Sun Sign maybe.

The Sun in Taurus is a time when we feel more sensual, receptive and determined. The energy of the sign of Taurus is more practical, grounded, and stable which definitely overall can be a great help with so many other Cosmic connections happening during this time speeding things way up. This helps us take a deeper look at the events unfolding around us, so we can look at any complicated situation with some good old-fashioned common sense. This sign teaches all of us how to defend ourselves and resist things, but also how to love in a deeper, sensual, and more intimate way, and appreciate the physical world and all its beauty.

This will be a month of relying on what’s always worked in the past but also moving forward with the times, it’s about integrating tradition with evolution in our lives. You will want to be more comfortable during this time as well, so set up a place to zen out and get all comfy and cozy for the next month to make sure you have somewhere safe to hang out while the Sun is in Taurus. This cycle shows us what stability and substance look like. We seem to be drawn to more practical matters now, so there’s not as much risk-taking happening usual in this energy. (However, mental Mercury is in the sign of Aries which does tend to give us some get up and go even under this energy.) With the Sun in Taurus, we have an opportunity to really value things in the material world and on a spiritual level both.

As the Sun moves through this sign, we get to see what it is to manifest our world here in this physical reality, as the seeds we have planted take root. Our determination and need for security can become quite strong. Taurus energy is about loyalty, being comfortable, using what’s been tried and true in the past, and sticking to what’s familiar. We value those who have stayed by our side in good and bad times and will honor them more so during this time.

We see the beauty in life and are more focused on what pleases the senses, as they are aroused and highly activated, so we have more appreciation for things like food, music, sex, entertainment, and just anything that feels pleasurable. Because we’re more receptive in this way we should make the time to stop and “smell the roses”, rather than be in a hurry and pass things by. Enjoy all the beautiful things life has to offer and learn to find something beautiful about your life and yourself while the Sun is in Taurus.

The shadow side of Taurus energy is we can be more possessive, especially with our children and partners, and we can act extremely stubborn and bullheaded. We must learn how to get out of our own way long enough at times and be willing to hear others ideas and opinions.

While the Sun is in Taurus we should be making plans and setting goals that will be built to last. Put away some money for a rainy day and for your future endeavors. This isn’t a good time to make some kind of life-altering decision, however. Just plan for now, and maybe give it until the end of May to make your next big move.

The FULL MOON occurs on Saturday, November 4th, 2017, at 1:23 AM EDT, 12:23 PM CST

This week’s Full Moon occurs late Friday night, early Saturday morning, depending on what part of the world you are in. And it’s in the strong but loving sign of Taurus, which can bring up certain things like: Money, Security, Love, Beauty, Love, and Food, yes I said food, as we love to nurture ourselves and others when the Moon is in good, solid, stabilized Taurus, and therefore food becomes a strong need and desire for some under this energy!

The Full Moon is actually an opposition, when the Sun in Scorpio forms a challenging energy with the Moon in Taurus. This one is also what’s called a “Cazimi” Moon, because it is particularly close to earth, so certain themes will come into play more strong than usual. This energy brings up some issues around filling the voids in our life and what we are lacking.

Do you feel satisfied with what you have and do you have enough of what you need, and do you feel secure? Wondering if you have enough money, love, food, or security can come up during this Full Moon, and the answers will become quite obvious over the weekend.

Full Moons are about balancing out the two opposed forces depending on what Zodiac Sign they are transiting, and we must look at these energies to understand what we need to be doing to work with this energy and not against it. There is the more earthy, practical, peace-loving, and security minded Taurus Moon and than emotional, power hungry, soul-searching, dramatic Sun in Scorpio. The Moon in Taurus wants you to find something that fills an emotional need or void (hence why food can become a stronger desire), but it wants you to do it in a more simplistic way, finding what works for you in this life. While the Sun in Scorpio draws our attentions to what is more deeply psychological and complex, it draws us to solve the mysteries around us. This Full Moon illuminates this conflict between what is physical (Taurus) and transforming (Scorpio).

This energy makes us feel more passionate, in love, and highly creative! This Full Moon’s energy helps us think of the possibilities and helps us learn through our experiences. Taurus is ruled by Venus and Scorpio by Pluto but also Mars, Venus-Mars are the Cosmic Lovers of the Zodiac, so our intimate relationships are highlighted under this powerfully strong Full Moon, and things like our personal comfort and what we value and our sexuality is going to be super strong right now!

The Full Moon is the high point of the Moon cycle, and it is a time when the energies we started during the New Moon come into being. It is a highly emotional time but also a time of romance, relationships, and strong desires.

The Full Moon in Taurus can also be about abundance and helps remind us of what we already have. But there is a strong Venus/Uranus oppostion that will be very close to this Full Moon, and since Venus rules Taurus, this aspect can be quite significant. This is an awakening to what we are lacking in our life and our personal need to find a new way of doing something on our own, and for many of you issues around your personal security may come up, and concerning your work or career, and especially around your love life! Since the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are all in the sign of sex itself, Scorpio, issues around our sexuality can also show up now. We need to be doing something that helps us to enjoy ourselves and experience pleasure more often on a regular basis.

This Full Moon is also connected with Jupiter and is harmonizing with dreamy Neptune, as they get closer to make a exact beautiful Trine. This is some nice energy folks that emphasizes fertility (not just having babies), imagination, and those ah-ha moments of realizations or epiphanies that are magical! This energy can bring money, sudden windfalls and just random dumb luck!

This brings in a energy of generosity as our compassion and faith are stronger than usual, we are more willing to make personal sacrifices around what it is we believe in, if it’s for the higher good!

We are about to witness an amazing rare “Super” Full Moon. The closest it’s been to Earth in 70 years! Even if you normally don’t look at the stars, this is an astrological event you don’t want to miss!

The November Full Moon is also called a “Supermoon”, so it will be closer to Earth than it’s been since 1948. Make sure to mark your calendars for November 4th when the Moon appears nearly 15% bigger and it is up to 30% brighter than an average Full Moon. There will not be another Full Moon this close to Earth until November 2034! So pay attention to the sky on November 4th through the 6th and get a glimpse of this beautiful Full Moon experience.

This Full Moon is in the sign of the Bull, Taurus. So all the fixed signs of the Zodiac can experience some serious insight to questions they might have had, the fixed signs of the zodiac are Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. But no matter what your zodiac Sun Sign may be, you’re going to definitely be affected by this SuperMoon event in one way or another!

How “Supermoons” differ from regular Full Moons?

Full SuperMoons actually shine brighter, look bolder and bigger, and are technically closer to the Earth. Therefore their energy is felt even more strong and intense than with an average Full Moon! Starting tonight the energies will amp up as this Full Super Moon swells to its peak, the energy is exciting and our emotions are very charged up! We can experience abrupt endings and major changes, but also important insight and answers through the 16th.

This Full Super Moon in Taurus lights up the truth and helps us to see the unseen! If there is something you should be aware of, this energy can light the way and show you. Full Moons are a time of endings and a time to let go of things or take something to the next level. This creates turning points in our lives, as this mysterious Full Moons messages come through.

The Full Moon in Taurus is opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This brings a desire to strike a balance between what is secure and stable versus living out our dreams, all at the same time. Because both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs, which means they don’t give in or change easily, so it’s more difficult to compromise now no matter what your Sun Sign is, as this energy affects all of us.

This Full Moon being in solid, stable Taurus wants us to stick close to home and in one place, wherever you feel safe, comfortable, and secure. But there’s the flip side to this energy, where we feel very strongly about something more exciting! There are some serious wake-up calls coming, as a big message or big reveal can take place at the time of this Full Moon. This can just simply be a little push from the Universe to help get you on the right path. Even if you’re reluctant, this may be what is necessary to help you make changes.

Let’s this energy Guide you:

It’s extremely important to not allow this strong planetary energy to put you in some kind of crazy situation, where there are power plays involved with others, instead stay focused on what’s important in this moment. The planets are already pushing us to be aware of our own personal truth, so listen to your gut instincts and guides, whether from Earth or the Divine.

This Full Moon will be one for the record books and you might remember it for quite a long time because it’s going to have a profound effect on some area of your life. If you would like to know more about just how this “SuperMoon” is going to affect you and what kind of impact or change it can create in your life.Why not purchase a “Full Moon Report” from me!

Rubys Astro Readings“Full Moon Reports”

For all the Signs of the Zodiac:
The build-up of energy to the Full Moon in Taurus on November 4th has begun!
You’re probably already noticing feel different as these energies merge together for the upcoming Taurus Moon. This particular Full Moon is called a “Cazimi Moon” when the Moon comes very close to the earth.Times of Full Moon peaking:1:23 AM Eastern time12:23 AM Central time
November 3 at 10:23 PM Pacific time
The closer to Earth the Moon gets the stronger the energies are felt, as this intensity affects us on a deep emotional level. You’re probably already feeling it! You might feel nervous, tired, or just anxious and lots of folks don’t sleep as well when the Full Moon starts to form, which can last throughout this weekend.
Our deep emotions are what manifest our life, both good and bad. If we understand it or not! If we are aware of it or not! Therefore, it’s important to keep our energies on a higher vibrational level this week. If we can sustain a somewhat higher vibration within ourselves than our life will reflect just that and we can manifest our goals, wishes, and desires much easier.
Each month the Full Moon helps us find out certain truths and gives us clarity so we can work on specific wishes or desires. It also helps us release and let go of situations, people, or energies to make room for whatever new energies we are trying to manifest in our lives. Full Moons do help create endings in this way and then two weeks later during the New Moon we start planting seeds for something else new to begin, so we’re are always moving energies in and out!
During the Full Moon on November 4th, the Universe is inviting you to work on something specifically! And that all depends on just where the Full Moon is going through your own personal Astrology“Birth Chart”. This tells you what part of your life you should be giving more attention to.

The Moon officially became a New Moon in the sign of Taurus this morning, and we get to bask in its energy all the way through Thursday evening. This is a new cycle that creates New Beginnings, as a New Moon is when the Sun and the Moon meet up and make a powerfully strong connection, that generally is favorable. And both the Sun and Moon are in Taurus this month, which is a beautiful, highly emotional, manifesting, and loving energy.

With the Moon and Sun both in the sign of the Bull, Taurus, forming the New Moon, our focus should be on what Taurus energy represents. (This, by the way, goes for everyone, the Moon in any sign affects all the signs of the Zodiac.), and Taurus wants to teach us how to take care of ourselves in a very physical way. This is the time to learn how to enjoy life’s simple pleasures and how to be more in touch with our physical body and nurture it!

Just how much have you been eating lately? Well, we are in Taurus Season, so that can make some of us extremely hungry! And under all this Taurus energy we can learn how to enjoy what pleases our senses like good food and drink, sex and intimacy both…so acts that include touching, kissing, and learning how to be more intimate, as this is a very sensual energy. Taurus energy can also teach us how to be dedicated to our family members, and to work on being more loving, loyal, and devoted to them!

It’s time to stop and take in life around you, and breathe more deeply and celebrate mother Earth, it is the week of Earth Day after all. Take the time to enjoy what you see, hear, touch, and feel! The focus during this New Moon should be on nurturing ourselves and doing what it takes to feel more comfortable and secure. This is a good time to make some New Daily Routines and Rituals around your health and well-being, and apply them to your everyday life.

This is also an excellent time to re-evaluate your relationships with money and earthly possessions. Look at what makes you truly happy and emotionally fulfilled, think about what brings you happiness! If you’re not too sure, you can discover the answers under this New Moon, just simply Ask! Write it down, meditate, pray, or say it out loud, however you go about it, the best thing you can do is ask the Universe to bring you what will make you happy!

We just left Aries season which helped us build foundations and initiate something. Now that we are in Taurus season we can build on and develop all those new projects that we began working on during Aries season, especially under the Taurus potent New Moon, because it’s influence is all about Manifesting! And the best time to manifest is when? You guessed it, under the NEW MOON!!

This is your moment, your opportunity to create what you want and make significant changes in your life! Some of you have already begun something new, however it is advised to wait and stick it out and NOT start anything brand-new until some of these Retrograde planets get back to normal in mid-May so you can go back to things you already had going or that got put back, and start those things back up again! It’s a great time to plan and Set Intentions with the Universe.

Over this next week, we can make some realistic plans that can help us build new foundations to reap the rewards from any New Beginnings that come our way, no matter the size and in a couple weeks time after the Full Moon comes together.

This New Moon is also forming a harmonious trine with the North Node in Virgo (the Moon’s, Moon’s) and also with dreamy Neptune, this makes it easier to connect to our spirits and this energy we may feel a strong sense of purpose around making changes and starting something new in our lives.~Ruby#rubysreadings

Happy birthday, Taurus!
The Sun’s energy has shifted now from more adventurous Aries into practical, grounded, and stable Taurus. This is a major slowdown in energy with mental Mercury also in Taurus. Mercury influences our thinking and overall mindset. It’s important to be patient during this cycle.

~Did you know we all have each Sign of the Zodiac within us, that we are all connected, so each of the 12 Zodiac Signs falls in our own personal Astrology Birth Chart and this influences who we are.~

The Sun in Taurus lasts through May 20th, and this gives us determination and patience both. So our main goal is to establish some sort of stability and security during this time.

But it is also a very sensual time as Taurus is ruled by saucy, feminine Venus. We are most active when we are defending ourselves or resisting things during this cycle. While the Sun moves through Taurus the things we are manifesting or plant take root and our need for security is very strong!

Our focus is more on our family now, as we are loyal to our loved ones and friends, and we value those that have remained tried and true. The shadow side of this energy is we can be more possessive and bullheaded, so it’s important to fight the urge to be stubborn.

Mercury Retrograde

April 9th – May 3rd

Sometimes the Universe gives us a break even though it doesn’t always feel that way. One thing the cosmos always does is create balance. So the energies get slowed down a bit so we can have the opportunity to catch up. Mercury in Retrograde is that time out, it’s the chance to get caught up with life, it’s time to get unplugged, and take a long deep breath. It’s a good time to take time off from work if at all possible and focus on reworking anything that needs it. Mercury rules the lower mind and energies, so when it’s in a Retrograde cycle we start to perceive things in a very different way.

Mercury in Retrograde, like all Retrograde plants, is happening for a reason, this isn’t some new astrological fad. Planets have always gone into Retrograde and will continue to. So every once in a while we get a chance to pause or stop and get some rest. This is the time to review your life and the paths you’re on. What this Mercury in Retrogrades cycle does is help us to breathe, be still, relax, and review. The main thing to know as this energy is coming in, it’s time to review your life and redo anything that needs to be done. It is time to re-search, re-think, re-visit, re-connect, and to get re-organized.

What Not To Do during

Mercury in Retrograde:

– Don’t start brand new projects

– Do not get into arguments, avoid critical folks and tense people or situations.

– Do Not Sign Contracts or New Agreements

– Avoid Travel

– Do Not take misunderstandings personal. Our communication is foggy and clouded.

What To do during

Mercury in Retrograde:

– Redo, Rework, Review, Research, so basically go over things again and wrap up old business and projects.

– Double Check the Facts and all the info you come by.

– Revisit what you need to, like your work.

– Reconnect with the folks that matter if you’ve had issues or not.

– Backup Computers and any data you want to keep saved, usually start this process two weeks prior to the actual Retro Cycle.

– Reorganize your daily life routines.

– Declutter.

– Reflect and practice spiritual work.

– Release what’s been holding you back or blocking you, let go of what no longer is working especially in your intimate relationships.

There can be positive things that come from a Mercury in Retrograde cycle that you just didn’t think about before. Like throwing out the old and organizing our lives. Focus on more past opportunities and reconsider them and see if they are still an option, and try to let go of any computer glitches or electronic snafus you might be experiencing.

Mercury is currently in Taurus and this is strong energy.

So our focus should be on re-organizing and reflecting. We see the world a little differently during this time, through these filters, we can have some very important inner revelations. It may not be as easy to communicate under this influence, but remember not to try and rationalize everything. Mercury Rx periods can be times of heightened inner awareness, so doing things like meditation, keeping a journal, reworking old plans, and reviewing, or around anything from your past can be quite helpful. Mercury Rx is also a powerful time to study, particularly for returning to old studies and re-learning or refreshing knowledge around a subject that’s already been taken.

With Mercury in Taurus during this particularly Retrograde cycle, past decisions and ideas from a new more possible enlightened perspective can be very useful. Even though we may be especially stubborn or impatient. Lots of folks will end up returning to old projects and end up redoing, refining and tweaking them. You may feel stuck in the past in some way while Mercury is Retrograde in Taurus, but you can find old or past ideas to be more useful now, so use them in new ways if you can make yourself move forward. This is a great time to review recent financial matters and discover mistakes or oversights. (And it is tax season.) Plans may be reconsidered in ways that can benefit you.

Retrograde Mercury is aligning with the Sun on April 20th just as the Sun enters Taurus, which lights up our thoughts! This inferior conjunction presents actually a good time for processing recent events and ideas, and for beginning to look at problems or issues from a new perspective and with some new information and a new understanding. What we say, do, write or project out to the world now can have a great impact, and this can be a positive or negative experience. There will be significant new ideas that can be learned during this time, although we are unlikely to seem them completely clear quite yet.

This Mercury in Retrograde cycle can also help you think back to a part of your recent past and help you reconnect to an old dream or goal, to follow through on. Someone from your past might get a hold of you for a second chance or opportunity, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be, usually, it doesn’t work out for the long-run. Because we are perceiving things in a different way as the truth tends to come out, and you just might notice or find some kind of detail you overlooked or didn’t catch before. This cycle can bring clarity and help you move the restrictions or blocks that are in your way to achieve happiness. Mercury begins retracing its steps in direct motion from May 3rd (its shadow ends on May 20th).

April 9th – May 3rd
Although not quite as popular as Sun sign astrology, “Mercury Retrograde” has certainly become a buzzword – or buzz phrase – these days.

Sometimes the Universe gives us a break even though it doesn’t always feel that way. One thing the cosmos always does is create balance. So the energies get slowed down a bit so we can have the opportunity to catch up. Mercury in Retrograde is that time out, it’s the chance to get caught up with life, it’s time to get unplugged, and take a long deep breath. It’s a good time to take time off from work if at all possible and focus on reworking anything that needs it. Mercury rules the lower mind and energies, so when it’s Retrograde we start to perceive things in a very different way, and this can cause serious confusion.
Mercury in Retrograde, like all Retrograde planets is happening for a reason, this isn’t some new astrological fad. Planets have always went into Retrograde and will continue too. So every once in a while we get a chance to pause or stop, and get some rest. This is the time to review your life and the path you’re on. What this Mercury in Retrogrades cycle does is help us to breathe, be still, relax, and review. The main thing to know as this energy is coming in, it’s time to review your life and redo anything that needs to be done. It is time to re-search, re-think, re-visit, re-connect, and to get re-organized.

What Not To Do during 1Mercury in Retrograde:

Don’t start brand new projects

Do not get into arguments, avoid critical folks and tense people or situations.

Do Not Sign Contracts or New Agreements

Avoid Travel

Do Not take misunderstandings personal. Our communication is foggy and clouded.

There can be positive results that come from a Mercury in Retrograde cycle that you just didn’t think about before. Mercury is currently in Taurus and which means our thought processes our way slowed down. So our focus should be on clearing and cleansing what we have while learning how to love ourselves. Focus on any past opportunities that weren’t taken on and reconsider if they’re still an option.
This Mercury in Retrograde cycle can also help you think back to a part of your recent past and help you reconnect to a old dream or goal, to follow through on now. Someone from your past might get a hold of you for a second chance or opportunity, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be, usually it doesn’t work out for the long-run.

Because we are perceiving things in a different way as the truth tends to come out, and you just might notice or find some kind of detail you overlooked or didn’t catch before. This cycle can bring clarity and help you move the restrictions or blocks that are in your way to achieve happiness, if we can just ingore the misunderstandings and glitches that come along with this energy!

Mercury the planet that rules over your thinking and how you communicate is shifting today into more slowed down, grounded Taurus, and again this affects every single sign in the zodiac. Mercury will transit the sign of the bull sign until April 20th! Also, Mercury is preparing now to go into its Retrograde cycle and under this sign things can seem very slow moving and even at a snails pace. Which can be frustrating for all of you, since we’ve been in the strong Aries energy for awhile now and life has been busy! It’s going to take time to adjust to this new more slowed down and “look at the roses” kind of energy.
Mercury will remind Taurus through April 20th, but will shift back into Aries on the 21st due to its Retrograde phase, therefore Mercury will return to Taurus from May 16th-June 6th right after a Retrograde period in Aries. So we’re going to be dealing with this energy for a extended amount of time.

With Mercury in Taurus, you will take things more slowly and the energies come down a notch as you can feel more down to earth, stable, and grounded. Good old-fashioned common sense takes ahold. When you do communicate it is with intention and purpose, as the reality of any given situation is important. Your mind is connected very strongly to the five senses and the world around you under this influence. You tend to stick to what you know has worked in the past, so what is tried and true instead of trying new ways of thinking and communicating.

You are more serious in this energy, at least in what you think, and there is a reluctance to try a new technique since you are more comfortable with what already works. You do best connecting with one person rather than a crowd, and meaningful discussions can make your heart happy. This is a time for addressing any problems that exist with someone, and that also means anything fun that does happen tends to lack any shocks or surprises. Taurus mental energy for all of us is not flashy or showy at all, but can make you feel more demanding of certain peoples attention, especially if they are familiar or close family or friends.

While you show level-headedness in all business that you do during this cycle, you sometimes can miss certain opportunities because you are slow to respond. You are at your best when focused on important matters at work, and you may have difficulty with too many decisions. This isn’t a good time to multi-task, but it is good for researching possibilities and for perfecting certain skills. And hopefully climbing the corporate ladder if that’s a goal you have, remember it’s slow and steady for now, but at least you’ll be making momentum.

Your attention is given to one thing at a time as you can stay more focused and this can help keep things simple, but you must be careful of being to closed off and narrow-minded, and possibly overly conservative and even rigid in your way of thinking. You’re heart is usually more open during this cycle, so work on loving yourself more, it’s just you may have to remind yourself of this from time to time.

Rare “Super” Moon Approaching!
By Ruby

We are about to witness an amazing rare “Super” Full Moon. The closest it’s been to Earth in 70 years! Even if you normally don’t look at the stars, this is an astrological event you don’t want to miss!

The November Full Moon is also called a “Supermoon”, so it will be closer to Earth than it’s been since 1948. Make sure to mark your calendars for November 14th when the Moon appears nearly 15% bigger and it is up to 30% brighter than an average Full Moon. There will not be another Full Moon this close to Earth until November 2034! So pay attention to the sky on November 13th – 15th and get a glimpse of this beautiful Full Moon experience.

This Full Moon is in the sign of the Bull, Taurus. So all the fixed signs of the Zodiac can experience some serious insight to questions they might have had, the fixed signs of the zodiac are Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius. But no matter what your zodiac Sun Sign may be, you’re going to definitely be affected by this SuperMoon event in one way or another!

How “Supermoons” differ from regular Full Moons?

Full SuperMoons actually shine brighter, look bolder and bigger, and are technically closer to the Earth. Therefore their energy is felt even more strong and intense than with an average Full Moon! Starting around the 10th or so expect for the energies to amp up as this Full Super Moon swells to its peak, the energy is exciting and our emotions are very charged up! We can experience abrupt endings and major changes, but also important insight and answers through the 16th.

This Full Super Moon in Taurus lights up the truth and helps us to see the unseen! If there is something you should be aware of, this energy can light the way and show you. Full Moons are a time of endings and a time to let go of things or take something to the next level. This creates turning points in our lives, as this mysterious Full Moons messages come through.

The Full Moon in Taurus is opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This brings a desire to strike a balance between what is secure and stable versus living out our dreams, all at the same time. Because both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs, which means they don’t give in or change easily, so it’s more difficult to compromise now no matter what your Sun Sign is, as this energy affects all of us.

This Full Moon being in solid, stable Taurus wants us to stick close to home and in one place, wherever you feel safe, comfortable, and secure. But there’s the flip side to this energy, where we feel very strongly about something more exciting! There are some serious wake-up calls coming, as a big message or big reveal can take place at the time of this Full Moon. This can just simply be a little push from the Universe to help get you on the right path. Even if you’re reluctant, this may be what is necessary to help you make changes.

Let’s this energy Guide you:

It’s extremely important to not allow this strong planetary energy to put you in some kind of crazy situation, where there are power plays involved with others, instead stay focused on what’s important in this moment. The planets are already pushing us to be aware of our own personal truth, so listen to your gut instincts and guides, whether from Earth or the Divine.
